Kevin, yes I got your message. I'm working on a new song now that kind of does that. I'll post soon.
Jarod, I got the idea you were talking about "doing it different within the 3 min time frame". I have been writing six short line verses, AABCCB rhyme, with a 2 line channel. With intro, I usually still get to the chorus within 40 seconds. Even that got a negative comment from one evaluator who thought I should eliminate the channel. The rhythm format is 12-16 measures of verse (and channel if present), 8-12 measures of chorus, and 4-6 measures of bridge. If you check out my songs in open mic, one is 9 measures verse, 8 measures chorus, and 11 measures bridge. Still, the song is only 3 min. 10 sec. because it is only 94 BPM.
